Duel on tap
Since Manny Ramirez’s two-run home run in the third inning, Chien Ming Wang has retired 11 of the last 12 batters he has faced, the only black mark, Alex Cora’s fourth inning single. Schilling has been just as good, allowing only a fifth-inning single to Bernie Williams, and a leadoff single by Alex Rodriguez to start the seventh now, since the Yankees tagged him for a run in the third.
In both instances, Schilling has escaped any damge with inning-ending double plays.
